North Carolina's Route 80 (AKA Devil's Whip) - By Guest

This is by far one of the best twisty roads I have ridin on. NC 80, Buck Creek or what ever you want to call it is a great ride with very little traffic and coppers :D. From highway 70 up to the Blueridge Parkway, its about 16 miles of fun! Oh, and did I say dangerous! I ride the road regularly. about 4 years ago I ran of the road and down the mountain side 150 feet. Lucky to still be alive! I was just on NC80 last week. I was leading the pack with some other riders and maybe I was pushing it too hard..... but one of the riders had an accident. It was his 1st time on the road. Had I known, I would have set a slower pace. He was alright though. It did bring back memories of my accident because we had to turn around and go back n find him. If I hadnt been riding with a friend..... My body may still be on the mountain side.
